Here's an idea for editors, let's do a little roleplay. Writer: "I have a contrarian take!" Editor: "Is it fucking stupid?" Writer: "Well yes, but it bucks the consensus. No one else is saying it." Editor: "Is that because the consensus is correct?" Writer: "... yes but... " <hang up>

do you have a moment to talk about the word of our lord and saviour? ↓

In late 2010’s Los Angeles, a cop has mixed feelings toward a gang of terminally ill criminals.

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

But they were all of them deceived, for a fifth leche was made.

A theoretical framework for belief propagation in tensor networks introduces an innovation called a cluster expansion based on statistical mechanics, allowing it to overcome longstanding limitations on accurate approximation. Read more in PRX Quantum: https://go.aps.org/4gvmeI6

Yes. Or even to get orgs to cross-post to bsky etc in addition (which my understanding is something that professional social media tools like hootsuite etc make easy anyway). Eg @apsphysics.bsky.social has an account but doesn't post here.

@paper-feed.bsky.social any chance you can treat scirate.com links as papers?

I have similar feelings about countries and Straussian noble lies.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here? And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site? No money for Musk, ever, please.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

The point of accumulating political power ought to be to do what’s right. Otherwise you’re just hoarding power for its own sake. Stopping the government from sending innocent people to a foreign prison where they were beaten, sexually assaulted, and tortured was the right thing to do.

This is why Costco is so great. You know it’s safe to buy if they are selling it then it’s at a sweet spot of quality and value-for-money that will work for everyone who isn’t already an enthusiast for that category (and you know if that applies to you). No need to overthink.

We now go live to Isaac Chotiner as he reaches out to Elon Musk offering an interview to clear up this whole Joyce Carol Oates "doesn't read" thing.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

Just an idea, but why not leave people alone and keep your busybody curtain-twitching bollocks to your own living room.

Despite being the only white man in his 30's without a Substack, I still wanted to write something long-form about why I think the Trump administration's trade strategy is struggling to extract meaningful ransoms. Hope you find it interesting! www.explaintrade.com/resources/tr...
